Really unhappy with my recent experience. My usual coffee spot was closed so figured I’d give City Java a try. I ordered a half decaf almond milk latte and that is not what I got. First, the girl working put half regular espresso mixed with decaf in the portafilter. I worked at a coffee shop for many years and I’ve never seen that in my life. Usually pour separate shots. Then she half steamed the almond milk, haphazardly poured it into the cup with the espresso shots while taking to another customer. After pouring it in, she then added more COLD almond milk to the “latte”. I literally got a 12oz cup of warm
almond milk, couldn’t even taste any espresso. I was in a rush so didn’t have time to ask for a remake. I ended up throwing it out it was so awful. Complete waste of $5. Live in town, won’t be coming here again.

I love the atmosphere! I hadn't been there in about a year & as soon as I walked in I noticed the changes; the wine selection in towards the back where seating use to be, the family style table in the front, & a lot more local artist gift items! Very cool & I could not go back to Charlotte with their famous Dublin Divinity☕! It's SOOOOO Good & kept me awake for the drive home.😁😊

This is a welcoming place! My husband and I ordered different coffees and we both loved them! I wish we had tried it the first day we stay in the Hotel! Definitely, I’ll be back!

The frozen Caramela Macchiato is one of my all-time favorite drinks. Sometimes it can be icier or smoother depending on the barista, but always amazing flavor.

Great coffee (roasted specially for City Java by a coffee roaster in Charleston) and delicious treats such as blueberry scones make dropping in a pleasure. The interior is a feast for the eyes. Lively, lovely colors and striking images in a cozy space makes one long for a daily visit.

World class coffee served up just steps from a beautiful view of the river and located in the heart of downtown. Wifi is available and the chairs are comfortable for working or catching up with friends.
Everything is good in here and prices are quite reasonable for the fresh brewed coffee and lattes.

The only item I purchase there is the swiss water decaf whole beans. The flavor never changes due to seemingly procuring from the same place that knows about coffee roasting. The employees are always pleasant and helpful.
